 Introduction

This simple yet flavorful side dish is ideal for busy weeknights, quick snacks, or as a healthier alternative to traditional fried potatoes. With just a few pantry staples and your air fryer, you can create golden, herb-seasoned potato slices that everyone will love.

 Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold preferred)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic granules or garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs (Italian seasoning works well)
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
• Optional: Freshly chopped parsley for garnish

 Instructions

1. Prep and Slice
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and slice them evenly into ½ cm (about ¼ inch) thick rounds. Keeping the slices uniform helps them cook evenly.

2. Soak
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10–15 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps achieve crispiness.

3. Dry Completely
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. This step is key for getting crispy results.

4. Toss and Season
Transfer the dry potato slices to a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic granules, dried herbs, and salt. Toss well until all slices are evenly coated.

5. Air Fry
Arrange the potato slices in the air fryer basket in a relatively even layer. Slight overlapping is okay, but avoid overcrowding.

6. Cook
Set the air fryer to 200°C (390°F) and cook for 18 minutes.

7. Shake
At the halfway mark (around 9 minutes), shake the basket well to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

8. Serve
Check for doneness—the potatoes should be golden and crispy outside, tender inside. Cook an additional 2–3 minutes if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

 Conclusion

Air Fryer Sliced Potatoes are a quick, crispy, and delicious side dish that fits perfectly into any meal. With simple ingredients and easy steps, this recipe delivers big flavor with minimal effort.
